| 1 | You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, |
| 2 | will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” |
| 3 | For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; |
| 4 | he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. |
| 5 | You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, |
| 6 | or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday. |
| 7 | A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. |
| 8 | You will only look with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. |
| 9 | Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, |
| 10 | no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. |
| 11 | For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. |
| 12 | On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. |
| 13 | You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. |
| 14 | Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. |
| 15 | When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. |
| 16 | With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation. |
